Clarkson
Re: Clarkson
His winning percentage is around the 37% mark. How the f*** did they win a Premiership???
Re: Clarkson
Doubt it BD
He has shown he can build a list and that is where they are headed.
Just like us last week, you can't really blame the coach for an insipid performance by his players

Re: Clarkson
Premierships buy you a bit of time. As does the injury situation. He wouldnt want to miss the finals again next year though, or he would definately be gone.
Re: Clarkson
No, has credits still in the bank. Wonder how many times Dermie is going to say "offer St Kilda a premiership followed by 3 poor years and they will take it"? That's all well and good, but they had 16 players from the 2008 premiership team in tonight and couldn't beat an Essendon team that is shit. They have one plan and it has been worked out by everyone else. In fact, not only has everyone else worked it out, they have taken that plan and implemented it themselves and improved on it. Without Buddy, they are in real strife.

Re: Clarkson
Roughead would struggle to get a game for us at the moment, and that is saying something.

Re: Clarkson
Apparently T. Croad could be turning out in the amateurs very shortly and is still on Hawthorn's list. He would certainly help them out if he could get back.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.
Re: Clarkson
Was speaking to some Dawks supporters during the game, and they've turned completely, they want new blood at them helm.
All I could think about was poor Geelong, they actually lost a flag to that rabble. They must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the moment.

They are 1 and 5 now. Displaying a worse brand of footy than we have over the journey this season. I'm just wondering what the Hawk supporters are saying. I'm sure they are sounding off like we were during the week. If not getting stuck into their players, getting stuck into their coach.

Re: Clarkson
Clarkson looked like a coach that did not want to be at the ground. I reckon that he has serious problems above the shoulder line and would not be surprised to see him gone within 2 years.
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark
Re: Clarkson
Clarkson is a petulant little turd who deserve all manner of pain and misfortune.
He is a reflection of his president and half his playing group - so he'll be safe I suspect.
BTW - Wasn't Campbell's game awe-inspiring last night

Re: Clarkson
They have won 10 of their last 28 games, we have won 12.5. We both had injuries last year but they have the better list. This year is solely their own fault. They went into the year with only 2 ruckman on their list (Bailey injured in rnd 22 last year, out for a year) and no decent defender apart from Croad. So rather than go for Jolly or McGuire, they go for Gibson and Burgoyne. While Burgyone is a great player, he had alot of injuries with his knee and hammy the last two years at Port, so why would you trade 2 picks to get him? They needed a ruckman, they didn't go for it. Now they only have one ruckman and Roughhead has to pinch hit, which takes him out of his comfort zone and upsets the structure. Their defenders are shithouse, Murphy is possibly the worst player in the comp with Douglas from Adelaide Crows.

Re: Clarkson
Confidence is everything. They looked like us last week...
Re: Clarkson
Who were they missing from their best 22? Probably only Mitchell as it's a bit hard to include Burgoyne as he hasn't played a game for them yet.Jazz_84 wrote:their excuse of injuries pisses me off, what a lame excuse, they still have plenty of "guns" out there that just arn't performing, boo hoo take responsibility
Re: Clarkson
well thats just it, everyone is still crapping on about how they are dealing with a few injuries, even thought their full strength indicator was probably 90%+robrulz5 wrote:Who were they missing from their best 22?

injuries arn't to blame for their ruck options, thats their own stupidity of not having 4-5 rucks on their list like everyone else

Re: Clarkson
I know a Hawthorn supporter who says they have 9 of their best 22 out!
